About
I hold a joint doctoral degree from Sciences Po Paris and the University of Bergen, and the title of my thesis is The discipline of historians: a comparative study of historians' constructions of the discipline of history in English, French and Norwegian universities. I specialise in international comparative qualitative studies in the sociology of knowledge, education and power. Among other things I have studied the relationship between expertise and policy, and I have focussed on elites.
I am currently working on a comparative study of the knowledge and skills which legitimises bureaucratic elite power in Britain, France and Norway. I also work on three smaller projects on administrative instruments in the academic world, related to research funding agencies and to academic recruitment.
